Ok, so time for some more updates. One other thing ticked off the wishlist - I ordered FUCAs and that makes for the last piece of the suspension puzzle. Once I installed that, the suspension will be fully adjustable and it will be perfect-o.
This summer's holiday we went on a road trip across Slovakia, Czechia with a bit of Hungary. That meant visiting two proper racetracks: Slovakia ring and Brno circuit.
Slovakia was the more fun track, as there are many driftable corners so after a few serious stints, I had a "tyre finishing" session where I obliterated my tyres. This meant that on Monday at 8am, I was on the phone trying to find a tyre shop in the middle of Slovakia
but I had luck and found a set of Conti Sportcontact 7. Fitted the tyres and proceeded with visiting museums, castles, all the good sights with amazing beer. Slovakia and Czechia have the best beer in the world, with the Czechs being our planet's beer connoisseurs (alcoholics for real).
Driving the Czech track - Brno Circuit - was a serious challenge. It's an F1 track that's SO WIDE that it's just really REALLY difficult to find the ideal line and speed. Nevertheless, we had great fun.
I'm super happy to report that the car performs really REALLY well. Only thing I'm now yearning for is....the supercharger kit. Not sure if that would be overdoing it. I'll wait a year or two and see.
Here's one pic I snapped on the paddock - my Z in pretty good company.
